Become A CASA
As trained advocates, CASA volunteers are appointed by Judges to be a voice for abused and neglected children in court.
The result is they are placed into safe, loving homes where they can thrive.
CASA volunteers are ordinary people who are committed to doing what is best for a child. As a CASA volunteer, you will
be able to work with confidence. All our volunteers are thoroughly trained in courtroom procedure, social services, the
Juvenile Justice system, and the special needs of abused and neglected children. We welcome volunteers from all cultures,
professions, and ethnic and educational backgrounds. We have a particular need for men and people of color.
